Pitch and Weather
The match between the West Indies Women and Australia Women will be played at Arnos Vale Ground, which is a true Caribbean wicket. This ground is slow initially, but the batters could find stroke play easy, once they settle. Pacers will get movement early in the game with the new ball, while spinners could dominate the middle overs if the pitch slows down. With the ball likely to soften in the death overs, batting becomes easier but aggressive shots could still be risky.
The weather is unlikely to affect the first T20I between these two teams. There is a 20% chance of rain, while the temperature will range from 24° to 26° C. Humidity will remain moderate and coastal breeze will prove to balance the game for both batters and bowlers.
